Totem Pole in Dandenong Park, Melbourne, Australia
Dandenong Ranges National Park takes in the former Ferntree Gully National Park (the first national park in Victoria, established 1882) and Doongalla and Sherbrooke Forests. The vegetation pattern, with forests of ferns, numerous species of orchids and many birds, is somewhat similar to that of a subtropical rain forest. The high rainfall and volcanic soils produce a lush growth of vegetation, with tree ferns, tall mountain ashes (giant gums) and many European deciduous trees.
